The libretto W100 is powered by a 1.2GHz Intel Pentium U5400 processor, 2GB RAM and a 62GB SSD. Other features include a 1.0MP HD webcam, Wi-Fi (b/g/n). Bluetooth 2.1 , one USB port, a microSD memory card slot and 8-cell battery.

The two displays can work independently or together, depending on how you want to use them. It will also include a built-in 3D accelerometer, so that you can easily flip between portrait and landscape mode. The libretto W100 features six virtual keyboard modes (with haptic feedback) plus a virtual touchpad.

The libretto W100 is a tribute to the company’s 25th Anniversary of “laptop innovation”. Whilst Toshiba talks of this being a concept PC in its press release, the company is actually releasing the libretto W100 to retail in limited quantities. It won’t be cheap though, costing $1,099 and will be available in late summer.

Toshiba have made slight tweaks to Android 2.1 to make it more suited as a netbook. You’ll get the usual homescreens that can be pre-configured and a number of apps will be pre-installed including Documents to Go for viewing and editing Microsoft Office files, a POP3 email client and a Toshiba Media Player.

It will come with a non-touchscreen 10.1-inch display with 1024 x 600 resolution display. Other features include a 1.3MP webcam, Wi-Fi (b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, an optional 3G module, an integrated SD memory card slot, a USB port, a mini-USB port and HDMI-out. The Toshiba AC100 will be available from August 2010 although pricing remains a mystery for now.

Slashgear, Crave and PC Pro managed some hands-on time with a prototype device and found that whilst the AC100 was indeed lightweight there was an element of flex in the chassis and keyboard. The software seemed to freeze and there is no Flash support right now, although an update to Android 2.2 (complete with Flash 10.1 support) is pencilled in over the next few months.

Of more concern, however, was the limited peripheral support given the Android OS. Printers and cameras are the main offenders whilst mice and external keyboards should be okay. Also, the fact that the display was not touchscreen meant that the Android UI was a bit unintuitive over a mouse. Check out some videos below.

It will come with a chiclet keyboard, HDMI output, webcam and a sleep-charging USB port and two normal USB ports. The T215 has up to 320GB of storage and 2GB of DDR3 RAM, and weighs in at 3.3lbs. It will be available in three colours (red, black or white) and the inside has a matte silver textured with chrome trim. It will release on 20 June in the US for $469.99.

The NB250 has a 10.1-inch (1024 x 600) display, 1GB RAM and up to 250GB HDD. The model will come with a 3-cell battery good for 4.5 hours or a 6-cell battery for 8 hours of runtime. No details of availability and pricing for now.

Update: It seems that this same netbook will be known as the Mini NB255 in the US.

It will come with a 6-cell battery that should be good for 8.5 hours of runtime. Other features include two USB ports, HDMI, eSATA/USB, Wi-Fi (b/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1. It should be available in the UK from July.

Other specs remain the same. It will come with a 10.1-inch (1024 x 600) display, 250GB HDD and Windows 7 Basic. The exact launch date for the new NB305 is unknown but it will launch with a price around the €350 mark.

These tablets are expected to be media consumption devices, much like the Apple iPad. The company also doesn’t expect tablets to cannibalise other devices. “We definitely see a place for the slate, we see there’s a market there” says Jeff Barney, general manager of digital products for Toshiba America. “It’ll be expansive like netbooks, it won’t be cannibalistic … Media consumption on these slates will be the main user activity.”

No word on pricing but, as expected, the Android tablet would be expected to be cheaper than the dual-display Windows tablet.

Update: Digitimes says that both tablets will be powered by the Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset.

Toshiba is one of them and plans to introduce a family of tablet devices by early 2011 at the latest. “It has proved to be a mistake to underestimate these new categories. And besides, we need new category creation to grow our industry,” says Jeff Barney, head of Toshiba’s U.S. notebook business. Now we just need to see whether there is an appetite for these upcoming slates.

The models tested were the Acer Aspire One 532h, ASUS Eee PC 1005PE-P, Dell Inspiron Mini 10, HP Mini 5102, MSI Wind U135 and Toshiba mini NB305. We won’t spoil the overall winner, but three models stood out. The Toshiba has the best keyboard and touchpad, whilst the Asus offers the best battery life. The HP is a great all rounder and great for business use. Click here to read more.

The Toshiba NB305 fits its battery underneath (rather than at the back) leading to more tilt compared to the NB200. Whilst we were very fond of the NB200 in our review, we do feel this newer design to be more practical. Laptop Mag reviewed the NB305-410 and found that whilst the new design is sleeker it does have shorter battery life.

The NB305 delivered a battery life of 8 hours and 51 minutes, short of the near 10 hours managed by the Asus Eee PC 1005PE. Part of the reason for the lower battery life could be the inclusion of Windows 7 Starter. However, the comfortable keyboard and large touchpad remains. The price remains the same at $399, although the NB305 is not as competitive as other Pine Trail netbooks at the similar price point. Click here to read the full review.
